Well the idiots set off their own fireworks late at night all over the desert but luckily didn't get a fire going. Too many people and too few brains.

Yesterday while cleaning the garage,  I looked over at the 32 sitting there with a flat tire.  Felt bad. 
Decided to give it some attention. Filled up the tire, grabbed  some carb cleaner,  sprayed it inside. Put the charger on it.
Amazingly it fired right up  🍻🇺🇲

It's a Patriot! It thought you were taking it to a 4th it July Parade.

It almost became the show.  A fuel leak put a quick stop to that. 
But it did run really good.

I'm heading back up to the city in a couple days for a wedding. My plan is to bring my '32 down the shore for the summer. It's about 100 trip, longest I have ever taken the car. The only problem (I hope) is the car has a 456:1 ratio rear gears, I don't imagine I will be going very fast.

Chopper, do it on a cooler day! I made a 20mile trip in my '57 for a get together, so i left my 4.56's in. I had 26-27" rear tire and a good radiator. It was in the mid 90s that day and @65mph it was around 4k rpm and made 12 miles till it hit 235-240° 🤯,  I had to back down to 50-53 mph. Temp then went down to 210°.

On our of the Nevada/Texas trips in my son's '54 Stude wagon we lost the OD in Vegas and the leg to Kingman was one of worst times we had on several trips. 4.27 rear gears put us at 50-55 and 3,000 + rpm. We had to turn on the heater to keep the engine from over heating. It was around 100 degrees and we drank gallons of water. We were lucky to find a shop in Kingman with a young guy that fixed the OD solenoid.

I'm figuring on taking the back roads, making a few stops and keeping the MPH to 50 or less. It will turn a two hour trip to 3+, but I don't mind, I am anxious to put some miles on the car.

Lol, my buddy and I took my '47 Willys flatfender w/ 4.88 gears, via back roads to Dodge City, (35miles one way) for a Sonic Cheeseburger and a stop at Army Surplus. Seemed to take forever at 45/50 mph. Felt mighty naked too when we got into town with Bull haulers and intersection traffic🤯 Decided i wouldn't do it again😁

[chopper526]

I got a feeling I may regret the drive Sammons, but I will be down the Jersey shore all summer and hate to just let the car sit at home in my garage.

[sammons]

Ahh, bet you won't regret it. Just get up early, get a good breakfast down head out. Take it slow and enjoy the countryside, every town you get to your '32 will be right back in his element😁

[sixball]

You'll be fine and you will have a new adventure to tell us about. Don't talk yourself into not having the '32 to enjoy all summer. 

[TFoch]

I love taking the back roads with the 33.  Enjoy the ride Chopper!

It will go smoothly, just set back and enjoy the ride

As a kid our many Texas to California trips were done mostly under 60 mph. The issue now  is find a road you can enjoy driving and not getting run over, or causing road rage.
